Alcoholism itself is a selfish behavior. I only want to enjoy myself without considering the consequences for others. I have worked in the psychiatry department for more than ten years, and I have seen so many patients who come to quit drinking. Alcohol dependence has become a social phenomenon. The father in the movie is such a person. When he is unable to take responsibility or has negative emotions, he will choose to use alcohol to numb himself and escape from reality. There is such a father, self-esteem, face is bigger than the sky, and omnipotent, however, what you feel when you are with him is pain and happiness, the parental love is inseparable, and this is what the original author wanted to describe , At first, I never understood why my father was so disgusted, why did he give birth to him again and again? And don't leave him, give him a chance, until that scene, mother fell out of the window, climbed in to give father a bite, and became intimate again during the scuffle, did you realize that there was a deep love between them, maybe bystanders She will say that her mother is stupid, innocent and romantic, but because of love, she follows her father, protects her, and never gives up. Love it! At the end of the daughter's transformation, I think she chose to accept her growth experience, that is, there is such a family, that is, there is a father who is ineffective, but the father and the whole family have always supported her for the first half of her life, which she did not have. There is a way to give it up, so she will have the dialogue with her father, because the emotional bond cannot be disguised. The heroine, mother, and family of the original novel in the ending have all appeared, so warm!

The Glass Castle quotes

  • Jeannette: [sighs] My parents are squatting in an abandoned building on the Lower East Side.

    David: Jeanette...

    Jeannette: They were homeless before that for three years before that, which was pretty much how they raised us. My dad is not developing a technology for bituminous coal but he could tell you anything you want to know about it. He is the smartest man I know. He is also a drunk.

    [inhales]

    Jeannette: never finishes what he starts and can be extremely cruel. But he dreams bigger than anyone I've ever met. And he never tries to be somebody that he's not. He never wanted me to either.

    [Exhales]

    Jeannette: I'm sorry, but I have to leave.

    David: Go.

  • Jeannette: You did all this for me?

    Rex: Since when is it wrong for a father to take care of his little girl?
